First off, I do NOT mean to sound harsh or condescending, but you seem like an uninformed and unknowledgeable person when it comes to what has and hasn't already been done in advertising before. Especially something as visually controversial and/or shocking as this ad. It's probably young people relatively new to the business like yourself who keep coming up with ideas like this one not knowing a similar piece of work has indeed "been done" (mind you, it IS very creative nevertheless) and spur a string of criticisms. I suggest before simply (and reflexly) asking others who and when such work has been produced, you do some looking up on your own by whatever means necessary (so as not to appear ignorant of others' work in the industry.) It's called doing a research.
In defense of the previous commentor, this idea has actually been done more than a couple of times for other products. The concept of something being "so amazing, incredible or unbelievable that nothing seems to matter" using the visual of two essentially antagonistic characters mingling in a setting (like the KKK member and a black man here) is not a brand-new idea.

This is probably an insensitive ad, though I'm white, so I can't really judge.

The idea of a black man buddying up to the Klan basically cheapens the reality that the Klan still exists, still continues to spew vile, bilious filth, and was responsible for hateful, cruel lynchings as recently as the 1960s.

There's really nothing funny, clever or warm and cuddly -- least of all ad-friendly -- about a psychopathic group of insane hate-mongers.

The one with the bobby and punk wasn't anything like this; how did the agency veer this far off course?

So if the white man needs to be in the KKK to be an evil person, than what does that say about what a normal black man with an afro? To me it says "scared white man makes another ad". It seems like most people miss the point that, while the KKK is vile, portraying the black man along side if him as "equal" is just as insulting. Why should he have to get along with the KKK? Advertising is lame.

It's funny to see fans of social subversion and provocation sitting on the other side of the table whining that some image or another goes too far. And then it's surreal to see these tiny-minded, self-righteous PC bigots blathering on like they know what the hell they're talking about. The KKK is a perfect example. Jewish academic and entertainment media has you so conditioned that the mere presence of a Klansman or Klan image is somehow immoral. I like blacks, too. I cried when Michael Jackson's kid took the microphone at his funeral. I love everybody! But I happen to know a thing or two about the Klan, and I can say that the Hollywood image of Klansmen running around lynching innocent black men is BS! There have been a few incidents of crude white ex-convicts (made racist by time in prison with black convicts) dressing up in robes, calling themselves the klan and killing innocent people. But the REAL Klan never did that.

The Klan of the 1920s had millions of members. It was far less 'vigilante' in nature than its 1870s predecessor during the chaos and corruption following southern defeat and occupation, though some renegade 20s-era Klan members did engage in lynchings of black rapists and murderers (not just Africans!) in cases in which corrupt (usually Jewish) officials were protecting the assailant. (Um, yes, there is such a thing as a black rapist and a black murderer, to put it lightly). The 1920s Klan was a fraternal order like any other, complete with costumes and rites (think of the Shriners or the Water Buffaloes), and its central theme was NOT race, but rather the US constitution. Arguably, the Klan was far less racist than modern African, Jewish and Mexican groups currently funded by US taxpayers as "civil rights" organizations (the Mexicans' main org even being named "LA RAZA," which simply means "the race"). In addition to its several Cherokee and Navajo leaders (and many American Indian members), the KKK (of Oregon State) even had a BLACK leader (yes, there were African Americans in the Klan). Additionally, though the Klan saw Catholics' loyalty to the pope as a conflict of interest with constitutional loyalty, there was also a Catholic order of the Klan in Texas.

Of course, it should be mentioned that this was before white identity was systematically psychologically eroded by television and cinema to the point that any sense of white identity or interest representation is considered evil.

I am not a white supremacist. I hang out with people of many races, including blacks. But I'm tired of being treated like a third rate criminal for simply being white. I'm tired of being terrified to identify with my racial-ethnic background because I'm white. And I WELCOME humor that makes you ignorant, anti-white BIGOTS cringe.
